What seems to be the problem ?   Your secretary seems to think she is being harassed .   What ? You've got to be kidding me !   I wish I were , but i am deadly serious . She said you invited her to dinner last week .   Of course I did . As recognition for a job well done . Once a month I invite the most productive employee to dinner .   Well , there is no problem there . But she seemed to think that you were angry when she refused , and that your motives are personal and not professional .   I think she's misinterpreted my intentions . What happens now ?   Our harassment policy requires that we have a meeting with the HR manager and Miss Brown . It's quite serious . You could be reprimanded , or even fired if we find evidence that you were pressuring   I understand that . But I hope that we can get to the bottom fo this and show Miss Brown that she misunderstood my reaction .   That's the purpose of the meeting . Sometimes a mediated conversation will straighten things out , and a little discussion and apology can calm the waters .
